That is a hard one. The fin reminds me of a apistogramma, but the body shape reminds me of a rock dweller, I am completly puzzled by this!

it looks like a jurupari but im not 100% sure because its mouth isnt as slanty

more than likly it is.actually im pretty sur it is.but its got just an odd trait to it.may just be common of its species or genus or whatever

Doesn't look like a jurupari to me

Defiantely not a jurapari, im not even sure its a Satanoperca species, the mouth shape looks more Geophagus like to me, it could be a hybrid of some sort.

This is one of my old jurapari's

 

[QuotheRaven]

Gourgeous Jurapari CFC

Perhaps a Geophagus Acuticepsparkling Geophagus MAYBE

 

[Fella]

See if you think it's one of these -

Geophagus argyrostictus

Geophagus taeniopareius

Guianacara sp. "Red Cheek"

Beyond that, I have no idea!

 

[guppy_man]

could it maybe be a bolivian ram cross bred?
im only saying this because of the body shape, but the colour is not the same as a ram

 

[LisaLQ]

If it was sold as a jurupari, it'll be a lot bigger than a ram, I'd think?

 

[fishfishfish]

thats what it looks like!i was thinking a smaller species than jurupari but convinced myself to believe it

 

[Monkeyseemonkeydo]

Sorry to dig up this old thread, but I'm almost 100% sure that is a juvenile Acarichthys heckelii.
